Clean Energy Workforce Development

Workforce development and training are essential components to a bustling 21st century economy and a cleaner, healthier New York. But today’s workforce is not yet set up to meet the requirements and achieve possibilities of the clean energy economy.

With a commitment of nearly $70 million over the next 10 years, NYSERDA will work to change the landscape of New York’s workforce through clean energy workforce development and training. Our funding will provide opportunities for activities as diverse as:

Training building and operations staff to properly operate and maintain building systems

Providing on-the-job training for new clean energy workers

Supporting internships for students looking to gain hands-on skills at a clean energy company

Enhancing curricula to meet the demands of clean energy employers

Establishing a talent pipeline that can reduce the business cost of hiring new workers

Funding is available under four different workforce development and training opportunities:
